The appetite for Australian children’s television content overseas has remained strong during the Covid-19 pandemic, with shows from the ACTF’s award-winning catalogue picked up right across the globe during 2021.

It’s been a great year for Australian children’s shows making their mark around the world.

Round the Twist remains one of the nation’s most beloved and memorable television shows, with early responses to new research showing adults have named it as their favourite Australian TV show to watch while growing up.

Audiences across the UK will continue to enjoy the exploits of Australia’s favourite handball team, with the second season of the award-winning comedy series Hardball picked up by the BBC.

First Day scores a Kids’ Emmy nomination, Hardball Series 2 selected to screen at Chicago International Children’s Film Festival, and Are You Tougher Than Your Ancestors and The Legend of Burnout Barry premiere in Russia at the Zero Plus International Film Festival.
